Sarah Ferguson Wants Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to Loan Her Money: ‘Desperate for Cash’ (Exclusive)

Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson has a problem that she’s hoping daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie can solve.

As Star previously reported, the release of her new children’s book Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way was shelved after a 2011 email, in which she calls Jeffrey Epstein a “supreme friend,” surfaced, as have plans for any future book signings.

“She’s desperate for cash and wants them to loan her money,” reveals a source. “Even worse, she wants them to help do damage control with various people within the Firm and within their wider social circle.”

Despite denying any wrongdoing and consistently maintaining their innocence, Fergie, who previously said via a representative that she was “taken in” by Epstein’s “lies,” and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, have been exiled from the royal family due to their connection to the convicted pedophile, 66.

“She’s convinced if she has enough money she can buy her way back into society,” explains Star’s source. “She’s mapping out this whole strategy, from the PR firm she wants to hire to the potential benefactors she wants to try and go after.”

It’s a huge ask of Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, who remain in the monarchy’s good graces — and an “unfair” one at that, adds the source. “But she’s in survival mode and desperate so she’s not thinking of anyone but herself.”

The problem is, the princesses “won’t take her calls,” says the source. “They have pretty much cut ties with both their parents right now.”

Still, “Sarah keeps trying to bulldoze her way through,” the source reveals. “She will find a way to call from a random number so they pick up. It’s very awkward because she’s really trying to lean on them to help her out.”
